I am natural and have been my entire life, except for a short time in college, when I experimented with a perm.
2012 was a landmark year for memes -- and we could say that due to the Ikea Monkey alone -- but it's not always easy to remember everything that went viral in the last 12 months.
Since the end of 2012 had our minds filled with presidential election gaffes and "Gangnam Style" parodies, you might have forgotten about some of the funniest memes of the year, like 1990s problems (and 1890s problems), Spinning Lana Del Rey or all the "Shit People Say" (as if we could ever forget those endless videos). Her father, Jim, 62, had already been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer when he and his wife, Grace, hired Villatoro -- a mother, photographer and founder of Love Song Photography based in Menifee, Calif.
Villatoro went to Jim and Grace's home for a shoot and offered to do one with their young daughter, Josie. Yup, you would have thought that with all the beautiful straight hair flowing down her neck and back that she would be relaxed. But thanks to California photographer Lindsey Villatoro, the 11-year-old was able to experience what it might be like anyway.
Two years ago, Villatoro began offering photography sessions for terminal clients or clients with serious illnesses to document their journeys and was referred to the Zetz family. After she left, she posted about the family on her website to get gift donations for the girl to help make her last birthday with her father a memorable one.
The story of the wedding went viral and was covered by local network KTLA as well as the Daily Mail. A cult following soon arises around the mysterious assassin killing off criminals across the country, christening him "Kira"note (A Japanese Ranguage approximation of "killer"). But she decided to take the surprise one step further and dreamed up the idea of a wedding for the girl -- complete with flowers, desserts, a promise ring and a dress from L.A.
His actions soon attract the attention of the international police community (who have grave concerns about the vigilante killings) and the world's greatest detective, an enigma known only as "L".L becomes determined to solve the mystery of Kira and his impossible killing method, employing increasingly aggressive and risky strategies to get what he wants.
And every one knows if your goal is to keep your curls, you never ever brush or comb through them! It features original songs written by famed Broadway composer Frank Wildhorn (of Bonnie and Clyde and Dracula the Musical fame), along with lyrics by Wildhorn's longtime lyricist Jack Murphy and a book by Ivan Menchell. A TV drama premiered in Japan on July 5, 2015, with an all-new cast.This series has a set of character sheets and an extensive set of Headscratcher pages. In fact, we at TVTropes have NINE different Death Note Abridged pages (click for the index). Accidental Truth: In the manga, when the killings started, various tabloids put forward the Crackpot Theory that L was Kira, so it was harder for the SPK to seriously put this theory forward when it became true.
Accomplice by Inaction: This is an audience reaction to Ryuk, and while he didn't force Light to kill criminals he did start the plot by dropping the book in the human world. Light also pulls this a few times, most notably, and with the worst sense of timing, at the end.
Rem in particular is much more beautiful than her manga counterpart (she now has longer hair, wears a white dress, and no longer sports an eye patch).

Adaptation Dye-Job: Misa has black hair in the live-action movies, while Naomi Misora goes from having black hair to brown hair.
Then there's Matt, whose hair came out dark greenish brown in the anime, green in some trading card art, was never established in the manga, was blue in the official game, and is bright red in most fanart.
Mello's eyes were pitch black in the manga (to match L and Near), but changed to blue for the anime. The mafia boss Rod Ross has light skin in the manga and anime, but is dark-skinned in the DS game. The "Shinigami Eyes" in the manga cause the user's eyes to become gold, with red pupils and light yellow sclerae. In the live-action version, the irises simply change to gold, while the anime depiction has the irises glow a bright red. In the Korean production of the stage musical, L (as played by Kim Junsu) sports light brown hair as opposed to black.
Adaptation Expansion: The series is based on a short story about a schoolboy who finds a Death Note and mistakes it for a diary. As a result, he accidentally kills his friends, until Ryuk helpfully gives him the "Death Eraser", which grants him the power to bring people back from the dead. Somewhere along the road to adapting it into a full series, the schoolboy became a mega genius with a god complex, the boring Film Noirish detective became a freakish mega genius with a sweet tooth, and the Deus ex Machina ending was replaced with plans by the bucketload, and the rest is history. Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: The anime omits several scenes from the manga which, while usually not problematic, have lead to plotholes. In the manga, it's explained that SPK member Ill Ratt is a spy for Mello, which is how the mafia learned the SPK's names and were able to kill them. This is not explained in the anime, but in the Relight 2 special, the mafia are cut, and Light blackmails the president to send their names to Kiyomi Takada.
In this version, Light's meetings with her and Teru Mikami are moved to earlier than occurred in the anime, and they kill the SPK. However, while fixing one plothole, said special creates another: as the mafia are cut, Soichiro making the trade for Shinigami Eyes and his subsequent death is omitted in the process, leaving plotholes regarding Soichiro's absence as well as how Light was able to acquire Mello's true name.
Matt does not appear in any live-action adaptation, because Mello doesn't appear in the films, and in the drama he is merely a split-personality of Near. Since Matt was Mello's Satellite Character in the manga and anime, there was no reason for him to appear in the live-actions. That role is given to some blonde woman named Cathy Campbell, only known from a postcard in Raye's wallet.
In fact, Naomi Misora doesn't really exist; instead, Shoko Himura Halle Lidner takes on some of her characteristics. All along, he plays on a reactionary tendency in public opinion — people don't like crime, people don't like criminals, and so if someone's killing off the worst ones, who's really going to disapprove?
Then he pushes the envelope, making his brand of vigilante justice more and more mainstream.

After Light dies, everything he worked for becomes meaningless and he sees the monster he became.
Alas, Poor Villain: Even though the villains go into He Who Fights Monsters territory, and cross the Moral Event Horizon, their tragic downfalls and deaths still feel like this trope. The way he calls out to Takada and Misa, asking what he should do now that he's lost and going to die, is pretty heartwrenching. Also, when he's running away, he sees a younger version of himself (before he became Kira).
Also in the manga, where he becomes insanely desperate for Ryuk's help after being shot by Matsuda and abandoned by Mikami, but Ryuk plays with his desperation before writing his name in his Death Note. Horrified, Light lies bloody on the ground, all allies having died or abandoned him, knowing that his death is coming.
As his heart gives out, Light repeats over and over how he doesn't want to die, like a helpless child. All Love Is Unrequited: Played 100% straight with Sayu, Misa and Light, and later with Kiyomi Takada and Light. All There in the Manual: In the manga, you have no idea what happens to Misa Amane unless you read the supplementary book, "How To Read". Towards the end of the series, Aizawa gets this feeling when he drives Light to Takada's hotel. Alternate Character Reading: The kanji for Light's name is "tsuki", meaning "Moon", but his parents opted for it to be read as "Light" instead.
Mello has a Hair-Trigger Temper and is Sour Outside, Sad Inside, Misa is over-dependent on the affection of Light, and Light himself has immense delusions of grandeur and is arrogant to the point where he could be a candidate for medical narcissism. In relinquishing the Death Note, he loses all memory of ever being Kira and turns genuinely upstanding and moral; apart from, you know, not mass murdering criminals, he also refuses to manipulate Misa, in contrast to his Kira self where his manipulation defined their relationship.
Antagonist in Mourning: In the anime, Light goes so far as to hallucinate his rival, L, sitting next to him and talking to him. Apathetic Citizens: In the anime, Light's second victim was about to rape a woman in full view of a crowded street, and no one else did anything about it. Other instances include a man dying in a subway station and a woman being harassed on a train. Appeal to Audacity: When Mello tells Near about the killing notebook and the Shinigami, the SPK asks Near if he could really believe such a story.
He says that if Mello were lying to them, he wouldn't tell such a ridiculous story, so it must be true.
